For safety reasons, do not use adaptive
cruise control when driving on roads with
many curves, when the road surface is in
poor condit ion and/or in bad weather (such
as ice, fog, gravel, heavy rain and hydroplan-
ing)
.
Using the system under these condi-
tions could resu lt in a collision.
-
Switch adaptive cruise control off tempora-
rily when driving in turning lanes, on ex-
pressway exits or in construction zones. This
prevents the vehicle from acce lerating to
the set speed when in these situations.
-
The adapt ive cruise
cont
rol system w
ill
not
brake by itself if you put your foot on the ac-
celerator pedal. Doing so can override the
speed and distance regulation.
-
When approaching stationary objects such
as stopped traffic, adaptive cruise control
will not respond and braking guard will have
limited function
.
-
The adaptive cruise control system and brak-
ing guard do not react to people, anima ls,
objects cross ing the road or oncoming ob-
jects.
-
The function of the radar sensor can be af-
fected by reflective objects such as guard
rails, the entrance to a tunnel, heavy rain or
ice.
-
Never follow a vehicle so closely that you
cannot stop your vehicle safely.
The
adap-
t ive cruise control cannot s low or brake the
vehicle safely when you fo llow another veh i-
cle too close ly. Always remembe
r
that the
aut
om atic b ra king function cannot bring the
vehicle to a su dden or emergency stop un-
der these conditions.
-
To prevent unin
t
ended operation, always
swit ch ACC off when
it
is not be ing used
.

Note
The sensor can be disp laced by impacts
or
damage to the bumper, whee

The adaptive cruise control system only reacts to
objects that are moving or that the system has
already detected as moving. For example, if a ve-
hicle
@
, which has already been detected by the
adaptive cruise control, turns or changes lanes
and another stationary veh icle
@
is located in
front of that vehicle, the system will not react to
t he stat ionary vehicle.
